Hello again, glad you like what I'm writing. I tried to make it easier to
read. This is when everything gets interesting. Forgive me I'm no good at
fight scenes. And you will feel the love. Please r/r. Suggestions are
welcome. Here's the new installment.
May angels lead you in:
They entered the warehouse Shalimar from the roof, Jesse and Emma through the wall, and Brennen through the front door. After he had dispelled the few guards. It seemed almost too easy to get in. Jesse and Emma headed where Adam had told them. There wasn't anyone around. It was as if they had all left. But why?
***
Shalimar had landed in a big empty room. She felt the other presence, she smelled the vile man.
"Hello Shalimar"
"Gabriel" She turned. He was standing there, in all his cocky arrogance. "It's nice to see you again. How's Brennen?"
"Leave him out of this" She took up a fighting pose. She was going to kill him.
"I think I will kill him, slowly and painfully. And right as he's about to die. I'll tell him that you love him"
"You touch him and I'll kill you" She would NOT let him hurt Brennen, even if she had to forfeit her life. ***
Jesse and Emma had looked and looked, but there was nothing there, there was no one there, besides the guards that Brennen had taken out. Jesse leaned into his ring
"Hey Adam, there's no one here. I think this was a setup"
"But why, Jess, it doesn't make sense" Adam's voice came over the line. Brennen, who had been listening joined in the conversation w/ his piece
"Yeah, Jess why would Ashlocke take the trouble to bring us all here for no reason? It doesn't make sense" Emma, who had just been staring, but Jesse knew she was using her powers. Suddenly she stopped and met Jesse's eyes.
"Shalimar!" ***
"Didn't you ever wonder why there were no guards? Huh?" he hit her "I planned it. I planned it all. I just wanted to get up here. Because if I can't have you no one will!" Now the fight began in earnest. Shalimar was on the losing end, and she knew it. Gabriel was stronger physically and mentally. As she was about to give him a round off kick, Gabriel shot a mind meld to her. She was thrown against the wall and her head. She fell to the ground. Shalimar struggled to lift her head and managed to see Gabriel coming toward her. She couldn't move. He had he pinned with his mind.
"Now Shalimar, I thought it would be harder to kill you" He walked toward her and stroked her face. She pulled away. "tisk tisk tisk, no I could keep you around, but it would be so much more fun to kill you. Now here's something you will like." He drew a ball of fire from his finger tips. Ashlocke took his time in burning the flesh on her arms. Shalimar was fading and fast. Gabriel punched her in the stomach. Then he knocked her face into the wall. She was still hanging on. She had fallen on the floor. Ashlocke brought the fire again. Shalimar knew this was the end. She hated fire, all ferals did. And she couldn't feel her arms anymore. Now he was burning her legs. She wasn't going to die; she would fight, until the end. She would die as long as she took this bastard with her.
*** Brennen took off running down the hall. Jesse and Emma were on their way. He had to save Shal. He couldn't explain it. He knew where she was. He couldn't let her be at the hands of that fanatic. He promised himself he would protect her. If he ever told her she'd kick his ass. He didn't care right now. He had to save her. She couldn't stand against Ashlocke alone. Through all her bluster she was still just as vulnerable as the rest of them. Maybe even more so because she put on a strong front. He had to save her, he knew she won't live if she faced him alone. He ran even faster down open halways He wouldn't let her die.
"It's time too say goodbye Shalimar" Gabriel pulled back to give the final blow to her skull. Shalimar lifted her leg and with her last ounce of strength kicked Ashlocke as hard as she could. He flew across the room and against the wall. Shalimar collapsed on the floor. "You really shouldn't have done that, now I'm really going to kill you!"
"I don't think so!" Brennen let loose a shock that was fueled by anger. Gabriel spun in mid air and dropped to the floor unconscious. Brennen ran to Shalimar. He took her in his arms and gently shook her
"Shal? Shal? Please speak to me" Slowly she opened her eyes.
"Brennen?" she looked at him. He had come. She couldn't believe it.
"Yes, yes baby it's me" He held her close. He could feel the life draining out of her. There were severe burns everywhere. She needed medical attention right away. He bought his com lick to his lips. "Jesse, get to the helix! Shal's been hurt bad. Hurry! I'm coming with her" He softly touched her face. "Shal, stay with us come on"
"I'm glad you're here" She rasped out. Her throat was tight " I didn't want to die . . . alone" Brennen shook her as she slipped out of consciousness.
"Shal, don't die! Don't die!" His chest was heaving with sobs. "You can't die, you can't!"
